An advanced Quantitative Sensory
Testing (QST)
stimulator for evaluating nerve
impairment in clinical, research and
pharmacological trials
The PATHWAY
model ATS
expands the functionality and
performance of Medoc's
TSA-II NeuroSensory Analyzer, and
offers optional add-on
fMRI compatibility.
The ATS
takes
QST to a new level, delivering
painful and non-painful stimuli at a
temperature range of -10ºC to 54ºC. This
opens new research opportunities in deep
cold and heat pain studies.
Like the TSA-II, the PATHWAY ATS is
available with
30x30mm and 16x16mm ATS Thermal
Stimulator Probes' ("Thermodes").
PATHWAY-ATS is available as a complete
mobile system on a uniquely designed
clinical cart, containing electronic
base unit, heavy-duty integrated cooling
unit, analog output, TTL input & output,
Digital Calibration Kit and
PATHWAY-ATS Advanced Thermal Stimulation
Software. |

inflammation
•
Small-fiber allodynia in Complex
Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
•
Central Nervous System
impairment in
difficult-to-diagnose patients
•
Early detection of
diabetic neuropathy of
small-caliber nerve fibers
